? What are the benefits of practicing qigong?
One: delay the aging of human organs
Huangdi Neijing says: healthy qi exists, but evil cannot be done. Modern research has also proved that it can enhance human immunity, prevent and strengthen the body, eliminate physical and mental fatigue and restore physical strength and energy. With the development of society, people's daily life is getting faster and faster, and their psychological tension is getting higher and higher. Long-term psychological stress will reduce the body's immunity, cause the body's physiological dysfunction, and even lead to functional and even organic changes. Therefore, it is beneficial to learn to relax in a timely manner in a tense rhythm, which is both fitness and prevention. Qigong just played this role effectively. Practice has proved that people who practice for a long time are not easy to get tired, but they always feel energetic and seldom catch a cold.
Organs begin to age. When people get old, organs age or get sick, one of which is blocked blood circulation. For example, high cholesterol, hyperlipidemia, high altitude and atherosclerosis will all cause arteriosclerosis and poor blood circulation, which belongs to the category of qi stagnation and blood stasis in traditional Chinese medicine. Can reduce people's health, cholesterol and blood fat; It can enhance the function of human organs and delay aging.
Second, cultivate temperament
The key point is to optimize people's mood, will and personality. Practice tells us that in the quiet state of Qigong, people will experience great pleasure and comfort, not only physical comfort, but also very comfortable mood. The whole body and mind are immersed in a transcendental artistic conception. Long-term adherence to qigong exercise can cultivate sentiment, broaden the mind, cultivate the will, shape a sound personality, enhance the psychological role, and practice to improve the level of mental health.
Practice Qigong Part III: Developing People's Intelligence
Through qigong exercise, you can quickly eliminate brain fatigue, enhance energy, attention, sensitivity, memory and thinking ability, and thus improve the level of intelligence. Experts believe that Qigong may become an effective means to improve human intelligence.
The fourth part is practicing Qigong: improving human immunity.
After practicing Qigong to a certain extent, body fluids in the mouth increase, and saliva contains a variety of immune cells, which can enhance people's immunity. Through scientific research and testing, it is found that compared with the control group who does not practice Qigong, people in Qigong group have more immune cells in their blood and their immune ability is enhanced. These experiments can prove that there is a scientific basis for people to reduce the occurrence of colds, infections and aging by practicing Qi.
Five benefits of practicing qigong: promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis to improve human blood circulation
Through scientific experiments, it is observed that the nail fold microcirculation of exercisers has improved. Compared with before Qigong, the capillary loops of nailfold increased and the open loops increased, indicating that practicing Qigong is beneficial to human blood circulation. The improvement of human blood circulation can prevent many diseases, such as coronary heart disease and cerebral thrombosis. At the same time, practicing Qigong can also improve the physiological state of organs that have formed blood stasis, such as myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis and early cirrhosis.
Benefits of practicing qigong: dredging meridians and expelling evil spirits.
Many qigong practitioners have experienced the reaction of qi rushing to the focus. For example, when patients with headache are practicing, they will feel swollen and jump when qi passes through meridians. When the meridian passes, some people will obviously feel a warm current passing along the meridian, and the headache will disappear. People who have been practicing for a long time without diseases have more channels to be unblocked when using instruments (meridian detectors) than those who do not practice Qigong or those who are sick, which shows that practice can make the channels more unblocked. There are many channels and collaterals blocked by patients. Through practice, the meridians can be gradually opened part by part, so that people's diseases will be cured.
At the same time, some pathogenic gases, such as cold air, hot air and hemp gas, will be released from the diseased part or the meridian circulation part related to the diseased part. The patient is getting better and better in the process of discharging sick gas. For example, people with a cold stomach have a cold and stomachache. During qigong or when they accept the efforts of others, they may release cold air from the stomach cavity or lower limbs. After a while, the stomach cavity will be warm and the stomach will not hurt. This shows that qigong can help people get rid of sick gas. For example, people with fever, people with inflammation, people with diabetes, and metropolises with hyperactivity of liver yang emit hot air. But people with liver-qi disorder and some cancer patients will release numbness and so on. By practicing qigong or letting out external qi by others, people's meridians are unblocked, and the sick qi in the body is discharged, so that the five internal organs tend to balance yin and yang. This is the process of qigong treatment.
There are so many benefits of qigong, so how is qigong practiced? Let's introduce the basic techniques of Qigong.
The so-called pranayama is to consciously control breathing, and its basic requirement is "thin, quiet, even and long" and gradually achieve silence. In this case, if you survive, if you die. At the beginning of training, let nature take its course, do not force it, and slowly achieve from sound to silence, from short to deep. It's best to practice the method of "Guan Qi dantian". As for luck methods such as "big Sunday" and "small Sunday", it takes some effort to learn.
Luck is to draw air purposefully, open the channels and collaterals, follow the qi purposefully, and run the Sunday by taking a deep breath and stopping breathing. In ancient times, it was also called "breath-holding", "breath-moving" and "luck". If luck attacks the affected area, treating yourself is called "moving qi"; If you are lucky, you will be angry when you go out to treat others, which is called "dividing the gas".
The significance of pranayama is to improve respiratory efficiency. Although the ventilation per minute decreases, the tidal volume increases, the vital capacity increases, the carbon dioxide in exhaled breath and alveolar gas increases, and the oxygen decreases, indicating that the energy consumed is the least and the oxygen obtained is the most. What's more, due to slow breathing, the pressure in the chest and abdomen changes rhythmically, softening the internal organs, thus improving the blood circulation of the internal organs.
The so-called body adjustment is to consciously control the posture and movements of the body. Adjust your body branches, stand, sit, lie down and do things. These five situations should be coordinated with self-regulation and interest adjustment. The general requirement of body adjustment is undressing, comfortable and natural, and informal. Ok, stand upright without shaking, pay attention to the road conditions, breathe through the abdomen, exhale and lift the anus, and inhale to relax.
Stand upright, feet parallel to shoulder width, knees slightly bent, trunk straight, chest in, arms half raised forward, wrist bent like a ball when bending over, eyes half closed, staring at the nose, and then pranayama, which is called "three-lap standing pile".
Sit, there are two kinds of freestyle and cross-legged: freestyle, choose a chair with the right height. Sit on a stool or bed, with your feet on the ground, your legs shoulder-width apart, your hands on your back, your palms together in front of your lower abdomen, your eyes half open, or your hands folded like Buddha's eyes half open, and your fingers half open. Sitting cross-legged, there are single cross-legged, double cross-legged and natural cross-legged. Cross-legged is to put one leg on the other; Cross-legged is to put the right calf on the left calf first, then lift the left calf and put it on the right calf. The two calves are crossed and the soles of the feet are placed on the thighs. Natural cross-legged is that the legs naturally cross into a figure of eight, and the feet are pressed under the thighs. The upper body posture is the same as freestyle. When you exercise, you should prepare the cushion, and your legs are numb, and then close the exercise when it is feasible.
Lie down, suitable for people who are weak or insomnia, and you can do this before going to bed. It is best to lie on the right side with your head slightly forward. The lower palm naturally bends in front of the pillow, with the palm up, and the upper palm naturally rests on the thigh, with the palm down, or in the abdomen, with the palm pressing against the abdomen. The leg posture is that the lower part is naturally straight or slightly bent, and the upper knee is bent 120 on the other leg.
Doing has two meanings: one is to take a reasonable posture that is not easy to fatigue according to the nature of work and cooperate with abdominal breathing. Its spiritual essence is that you can practice dantian anytime and anywhere; The second is to guide the dynamic techniques of Yin, Tai Chi Chuan and other factions, and scholars should choose one of the postures and movements and conscientiously implement them.
In a word, adjusting your body is to adjust your body so that your body can meet the requirements of practicing posture and shape.
